just $5! Let me know what color razor handle you got in the comments below!
I stopped buying Harrys stuff. As they say" Get woke ...go broke'. Im sure my little razor spending isn't going to hurt them , but I just refuse to give my money to companies that hate me.
Sweet Plane, thanks brother, we love ya.
I've been watching you for about three and a half years. I simply scroll on past the Harry's commercial. Can't stand to watch woke commercials. Come on Trent you can do better than that. We love your channel hopefully you don't take this as being disrespectful of you.
Used Harry's for years now, have never found a better razor.
Jeremy's Razors ftw!
Your awesome shots of Evinrude just blew me away! Your videography is over-the-top great and keeps getting better. I've been a fan of it for a long time now.
The Miata of bush planes (or maybe Lotus Elise). Doesn’t need a ton of power if you make it really light!
What people don’t think about is that a 150-180 hp engine in a 1000 lbs plane is on par with a 450-530 hp engine in a normal 3000 lbs sports car.
@@aggiewoodieand cost about 2-3X as much
What ever happened with Nick's Kitfox? Did he build it, sell it, kind of curious as many contributed to his GoFundMe account to get him flying again?
Think I saw an update video not long ago, he got busy building wiring harnesses for people, but he's trying to get it done last I heard
I hope when I'm ready to buy I can find a plane like this for 60k. I took my intro flight last week! All thanks to you Trent!
Congratulations! You'll never forget that first flight, first p.i.c. and first solo! Get em while they're hot. I see these and kits like them skyrocketing in price due in large part to the engine being so versatile. WA is pushing a bill to do away with 100LL, these $45k drink anything engines will be in hot(er) demand before to long.
Hey Bro you want a sweet plane for 60k look at the Areo Aventura II it's an awesome plane it's the one I want to buy
@@templeton3504I'm hoping the LSA type aircraft like this will drop a lot when Mosaic goes into effect and they're considered the lower end of the new LSA classification.
Ty really knows what he's doing, I would love to see someone covering all his mods with a ton of detail!
An old bush mechanic told me to spray the beads with belt dressing' for fan belts' it's sticky and helps the tire from spinning and clipping valve stems or coming off the bead when running low pressure.
These are tubeless but still very useful info. I have tubes in my little bush tires and we all can benefit from sticky beads on low pressured tires. Thanks for the tip
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot I'm running 8 psi on my little piper pa 17 and it helps relieve the stress clipping a stem away from home
650lbs dry?!? OMG I have motorcycles heavier than that!😆
We’d all be better off if we had a friend like Ty Ferkin! I always enjoy the videos he’s in. Thanks Trent!
I've wanted a Kitfox ever since they were first introduced. I may still get one, but right now I have a Challenger 2 on amphibious floats, and will have that in the air this summer. The cost of airplanes has sky rocketed, and putting an insured value on my airplane will be an interesting exercise. Cheers from Winnipeg.
Your content is always really impressive. The fact you go the extra mile with your sponsors shows how much attention to detail is crafted into your videos. Cheers!
I would love to see this style walk around and explanation of what the other guys have done to there’s.
This looks exciting! So ready for spring flying in the midwest!
I've been dying to know more about Ty's plane, thank you.
The original scrappy lol
Yep! God Bless Trent and the Patey bros!
Scrappy......but one million cheaper.
I appreciate this more than scrappy. It’s more realistic, practical, relatable, attainable. Ty could smoke Patey’s face any day too for sure
I love that radial cowling!
I've been noticing your lighting skills developing quite nicely. Awesome "bathroom and product hero lighting.
WHAT no Squarespace? This can't be true ! Lol. Thanks for sharing brother. That bird ROCKS! God Bless.
i was really hoping the name for the plane came from Evinrude, the dragonfly from The Rescuers. a freaking amazing classic animated film. was happy to hear Ty say it.
That look Ty gives before he dives left in the intro was awesome. What a cool plane.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for featuring Ty's Kitfox! Don't get to see it often enough. I love his plane! I hope to fly my Kitfox some day, even if it's just to go for a hamburger. I think it is finished now, just need to fly off 5hrs for D-MOTOR engine change. Working on Sport Pilot Rating now in a J3 Cub.
Love the "contrail" at 11:40.
Y'all make such fun adventures, I wish I could live a life like this, never could afford it though haha
He’s flying that thing in the opening montage like I fly my RC plane 😂
Seems he really knows what he likes and he has the ability to compare and give a good analysis of the good and downsides of different types...
Ty is by far the most skilled pilot of the bunch
My buddy here in AK has an Aerotrek A220, 912uls that he put an Edge fuel injection on. 650# empty, 1250 gross, 100 hp b4 injection, climbs 1,000+ fpm on 25 or 27s ?. 3.5 gal/hr mogas. 120mph cruise.Neat plane!
Whoa, nicely done. Honestly as he was talking about all the mods I was thinking wow, "on a budget" must be relative. I suppose its on someone's budget, but not mine 😂, but only $35k, that's pretty impressive!
Our daughter called the dragonfly "EEEEEEEvinrude" when the referenced movie came out. Believe we still have that on VHS somewhere.... Awesome plane
Nice recap guys… sweet little bush plane!
09:12 I like how Ty says, "I got this before they got... popular"..... to TRENT PALMER! Hahaha!
Speaking of tires, I work with the guy that invented Alaska Bushwheels. He sold it quite a while ago however
I have a Harry's subscription 3-4 years now. Just received a box a few days ago. I'm glad to see they that they are a sponsor.
Really love the intro when your wife does the iconic scream and would like to see that more often.. I saw the video of making it. I'm always glad to see my alerts notify me when you post.
Happy subscriber 😊!
Midnight in Brisbane , what a drop Trent lol cheers bud less sleep for me now🤣🤣🤷♂️ just as well I have tomorrow off🤣🤣👍👍
Older beat up Kitfox 4 cost 65-80k used flying now days 3 years ago could get one in for 20-40k. I have seen some that were wrecked, or projects those are 20-40k you still have to rebuild them. Anything with kitfox name on them are expensive. Check out Aeropup it's like a kitfox 4 kit for $18k new
Love that you're highlighting other kitfoxes. Good to see what others are up to
That’s the kinda plane I need right there. Affordable.
I'll rewatch this everytime i need some motivation to finish my avid flyer project ;) thanks for that :)
I have been using Harry's razors for a few years now. I like them. They shave good
Love it! I’ve actually been looking at a 4 to get into ownership, and to do a little modding. Thanks for the great video!
I was hoping to see and outboard Evinrude motor as the primary power source.
Great video Trent! Good to get some perspective on Ty and "Evinrude". I checked it out in the pits at Reno and was impressed. Looking forward to getting rid of this snow blitz in NorCal and flying consistanly again!
Kit fox 4s are about my favorite.. I love the fake radial engine cowl
I've seen piper pacers on barnstormers for 10k that are flyable, in good condition with engine life. They have a STOL kit that transforms them as well. Longer wings, bigger gear legs and tires. Some of that might not even be necessary to have a formidable budget bushplane. But as far as kitfoxes, Ty's specs are sick.
Get another one, absolutely identical except different coloured. And call it Johnson
Awesome as Always... That was so cool
Wow what a short take off that is so freaking cool brother😱
So what has to be done to shave the 200 lbs off, or are the newer ones just heavier?
100 (mph?) with sub 100’ takeoff is a real achievement!
Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!!
I was wondering if someone adapted a 300hp Evinrude outboard power head. 🤪 Many years ago someone competed in the Baja off-road races doing just that. Engine was lighter, more powerful- and more thirsty. Needed a radiator, obviously. Much like a 2 stroke snowmobile engine. This seems like a much better idea though.
Cool video, like the western motif. I am building a Model IV right now. So great video for those that love this plane.
There are 3 things that keep me coming back to this channel. Aviation ( Obviously ) , Trent's personality & the awesome flight visuals.
The man obviously knows what hes doing with a camera.
Damn bro! I hope they paid you for that awesome intro. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love when Ty is on the channel! Great video as usual Trent!!
Thats my dream plane, model IV with the 912. Love the shot of him trying to knife edge it. Bad ass
Hi Trent,
That was a great video. I really like the design of the old KiFox. I have a friend that had I believe a number 4 with the similar color scheme like yours. He always had issues with the narrow stock gear. It was a ground loop monster. He finally sold it; I was lucky enough to have flown with him. It was a handful...The Kit Fox is one of my favorite aircraft design.
Take care,
Be safe.
That was a slick plug for Harry's at the end, lol.
My father has a escapade with a rotax. On full lotus floats. He had a engine issue and made a emergency landing. Plane is now for sale for a cheap price.
wow, those are some amazing aerial shots!
"4 was like in between the 1, 2, 3's and 5 through 7's"... wow Ty, lol
Thats insane. 35K. For a friggin airplane.
And Harry's is great. All ready buy there blades and products. Pretty darn happy with there stuff for sure.
And play like we do. This guy is great.
Queue the run on Model IVs 😂
Light is always right!
“Budget” got my attention 😂
He mentioned that it does 105 to 108, is that knots or miles per hour? I had a Kitfox IV Speedster with an 80 hp Rotax. I used to fly it along the intercoastal in north Florida near Jacksonville. Great airplane. I took her to Oshkosh as well as Long Island. Great cross country airplane specially with the 28 gallon fuel tank.
We always talk in MPH 🤙
Trent my wife said your promo was great I think she just liked see you in a house coat fresh for the day. I’m going to have to start watching on my phone again instead of living room tv
Don't know how to fly but if this showed up in my yard I'd die trying. That looks awesome.
Harry's os really good stuff, love thier soap 🧼!
I really love the videos talking about some of the actual prices around affordable planes.
I have a dream now (from watching your videos) about getting my private pilots license and maybe someday owning my own plane.
Woa! 650 lb, that's attractive!
This is The Platform for the Yamaha snowmobile engine.
Boost it up to 300 horses or maybe up to 400 hp and see what you can do with such power to weight ratio. 😁
(If the fuselage + wing structure can bear such load.)
I signed up with Harrys Razors. Hope the clean shave makes me look as good as Bryce Biswell.
Very cool, i want a Kitfox! Thanks for all the wealth of info! 👍
My model 4 1200 has the same engine set up but weighs 585 empty. I’m still running bungee gear and nanco 20” tires. Performance is great even at 6000msl field elevation. I would like to upgrade the gear one day to the TK1’s or Acme black ops and run the desser 27’s, but for now it does just fine.
Im looking for a model 4. All Ive flown is a 172. Are they as stable in brisk wind? What about the 1050?
Trent, I enjoyed your video on the Evinrude. I know of a Kitfox IV kit that my close friend bought 20 years ago. He got married and his bride put the brakes on the airplane. He passed away unexpectedly a little over a year ago. I am trying to find someone that would be interested in purchasing it for a fair price. I believe its complete but know motor.
Hey Rick, shoot me an email
Great video and inspiration to keep having fun with my model 4!
Those were some sick shots! Fabulous content, bro!
Ty: "I got this before they got... popular"
Kitfox: Thanks to you, Trent! 😀
Awesome plane walk around review etc, epic shots as always.
Looks awesome, I aspire to get something like that down the line.
Wow, great video and loved the music....take care and stay safe!
Your videos inspired me to fly Trent, thks for do it an amazing content, greetings from Spain 🇪🇦❤
Young Arizona has a cool dirt strip
Evin Rude is
Rodney Rudes cousin
twice removed.
Truly Ruly!
Holy cow what an opening!
Great music in the beginning! Thought I should have been watching a western. Lol
My dad built a Kitfox too (we had to get some help as it had lots of issues with the early kits). It's still flying, iirc it was a MK2/3 - I designed the paint scheme etc as an in joke (it looked like a red arrows scheme). Sadly it wasn't as powerful at this one - awesome performance btw 👍😊✌️
ALMOST Switched to Harry's today.. Maybe I should have!! (I bought a new handle for my current brand because the blades for my old handle aren't available anymore
Thank you.
First time saw you without a cap
HARRYS ! ! REALLY ! !
Why the name "Evinrude" Am around the outboard industry and knew Ralph Evinrude through the test center in Stuart Florida. Interesting name for an airplane!
Great cinematography
Awesome! This is inspiring, might have to consider one!!!
I'm really not sure why, but I have always liked the LOOK of Tye's plane. It doesn't look like your's Trent (after all the mods you've made to your's) So I didn't even know what brand or model of airplane it was. But after watching one of Jonas' old vlogs where you, Jonas', and Tye were all out flying around (I think you were up in Jonas' neck of the woods...Idaho.) together, I asked Jonas'what Tye's plane was, and he said it was a model 4, Kit Fox.
I'm glad you made this vid and pointed out the performance and cost of this plane, just incase I win the lottery or the MONEY TREE seeds that I've been planting all over my yard ACTUALLY DO produce some DOLLAR BILLS ! ! ! .... Actually I bought the HUNDRED DOLLAR bill variety, so after a couple more years, when these GUARANTEED "Fast Growing" trees have given me enough to get my OWN plane, I will be comin' out to yer "neck" of Nevada, to check out the new "Home Hanger" and if'n it ain't quite done by then, you can count on me fer all the FREE LABOR you might want ! ....and WARN Hailey that I wanna stay for dinner !
See ya then, Trent !
Nice to see you and Harry's team up. Been using their products for five years or more. Great company and products, use their Redwood body wash and shaving products. Actually a whole assortment of their stuff. Its nice not to have to worry about if the store is stocked with what I want, just get it delivered every month or two or three. As always enjoying your videos.
Jeremy's Razors, a company that doesn't hate you👍
Great edit Trent. Cool plane.
I wonder if you could make an electric one with solar panels on the wings to help charge it.
*My 12” beard may not like Harry’s blades, but it does like Ty’s Evinrude* 😍😍
